The new Australian Recycling Label has been designed to give consumers simple, evidence based instructions on the recycling of packaging. This is aimed at reducing consumer confusion and improving recycling rates wile decreasing contamination of recycling streams, which costs us all money.

1. Remove Confusion
From Recycling
Most Australians are confused about the
recyclability of at least one common packaging
item. This confusion stems from unclear
labelling, changes in recycling systems over time
and differences between collection services.
That confusion is about to disappear!

2. The Australian Recycling Label
The Label has been developed to help brand
owners and manufacturers communicate easily
with consumers about the recyclability of their
packaging in Australian kerbside and other waste
collection systems.
The label can be used following a detailed
assessment of the technical recyclability of the
package’s various components combined with
access to a council provided collection system.
By bringing recycling information together with
a simple and easy to understand graphic the
Label will reduce confusion, allow manufacturers
to provide accurate information and enable
consumers to recycle right.
